My 80 some year old dad was better at some technology than my 30 year old son.
Your 80 year old dad used DOS. Make your 30yo use it for a year exclusively and he'll be fine
No he wasn't using DOS a couple of years ago although he did use Windows. In fact, I don't know if he ever used DOS. When they did move the drafting system to computer, he was likely using a jnix workstation or special purpose hardware.
But he learned how to acquire media from the UK that isn't available in US. He'd search and download torrents, unrar when needed, move to his plex libraries,etc.
